Gordon Brown targeted in hate mail campaign
Source: BBC

The prime minister was among dozens of people across the UK who were targeted by a poison pen letter writer.

Police are trying to find who is responsible for more than 50 racially and sexually abusive letters.

Gordon Brown's Fife constituency office received a letter in April, while others were sent to mosques, hospitals, universities and private homes.

Much of the hate mail, mostly posted from Hampshire, includes references to "repatriation" and "exit Europe".

4. Yeah, it does sound like a BNP/English Democrat supporter.
They pull stunts like this then they wonder why they are not taken seriously.

2. I'm relieved that the mail was not coming from wing nut Americans
Except they probably don't know you can send mail to the UK.

3. right wing appears to act consistently childish
I really think the majority should rise up and stomp all over them.
